12. LoL, that's my daily reaction to some of what is being said here every single day!

I can't believe how insane some of the people are that post here at the DU.
As if they are going to change anything in the real world by making comments on a message board on the internet!

So, after spending years bitching their heads off here about Obama, now they've turned their attention to Hillary, and they are busy bitching their heads off about her . . and she hasn't even decided to run for President or not yet!

And all in the name of freedom of speech!
"It's just my opinion . . blah, blah, blah."



I noticed right away how many of them that are now busy lampooning Hillary are the very same people who have bitched about Obama for the last several years.
And there's always some convoluted, pretzel logic that goes along with it.

"President Obama picked a banker to lead the Fed!"
OMG!!
I guess it's a good thing Obama didn't pick an old retired school marm, or a custodian, to lead the Federal Reserve because that might possibly result in different pretzels being manufactured while they are manufacturing Obama poutrage!

I'm not a rocket scientist, plus on top of that, I don't think it even takes a rocket scientist to figure out that they are wasting their time bitching about Hillary.
Plus, I would really like to know how many real world problems have been solved by bitching, anyway?
I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to that question.

There's something wrong with people who have to come here every single day and bitch about the President, or about Hillary.
I'm not without compassion or understanding, I can understand someone getting upset about something Obama does every once in awhile, but not every single day of their life!

Something else that I noticed, while restraining from making comments these last 2 weeks, is that they don't have any particular specific issue that seems to upset them all that much.
No, rather than just one specific cause, it turns out to be more like simply a helter skelter, shotgun approach that they take in order to bitch because it seems that any and all of those issues upset them!
Be it TPP, TP, or just P.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows how important TP is, but gawd only knows what P is!
(Every baby does it in his diapers several times a day, but don't ever let that "top secret" get out, or this country is doomed!)

To be honest, their blather gets old after awhile.
So old it sounds like an old scratched Rudy Vallee record!
So old it grows moss on the North side!
So old it causes grandpa to sit up in his lounger and exclaim, "hell's bells, that shit's older than me!!"

And so, it is rather easy now for me to simply pass by what they say, and just shake my head, and then rub the dust off of my shoulders the same way President Obama did so many years ago while he was giving a speech when he first ran for the White House.

It's a good thing that President Obama didn't come to the DU and take a poll to find out what they would do before he issued his latest Executive Order to help push immigration reform along, or else their heads would have exploded!
And we can't have that, now can we?
Exploding heads on a message board on the internet is bad form!
It causes the forum to get a reputation for killing hope.

And we all know what that leads to . . . conspiracy theories about how Republicans control the series of tubes!
